ASSAD AHMED
With saturnine features, Pakistan’s wild man of rock looks every inch an enigmatic rocker who revolutionised the status of rock music in Pakistan. Assad first cultivated his demonic style of performance during his infatuation with Kiss, who inspired his own youthful guitar rock band, The Barbarians. In his hand, the guitar has been elevated to centre stage in Pakistan and introduced millions of teenage boys to the pleasures of playing air guitar. Assad’s career first rocketed with the release of the incredibly popular “Yeh Zindagi Hai” in June 1990. The endearing raw genius that has made the guitarist so distinctive has been sought out by all the Pakistani greats in the nineties, most notably Awaz and the Vital Signs



TANSEER DAAR
Tanseer, who could have been a professional hockey player, opts for music and starts his journey .

From Circle and blues-rock in the mid-nineties, to Karavan and alternative rock in the new millennium, Tanseer’s varied band and life experiences are expressed with sincere and soaring optimism. For Tanseer, perfection isn't just something to strive for. He'll accept no substitute. It's Tanseer’s tendency to feel insecure and inadequate that drives Karavan's best music. Without his heart-on-sleeve melodies and pain-stricken concepts, Karavan's songs would be pretty, but not nearly as potent.


SAMEER AHMED
Drawing on many years of experience as a professional bass player, Sameer’s solid and original style of bass-line writing creates a great foundation for the band to build on. He has earned a reputation as a musician's musician; contributing his aggressive, groove-oriented bass playing to countless studio performances and live engagements that read like a lexicon of rock and roll. Sameer began playing bass as a teenager and within a few years was a fixture on the local rock scene. He learned the ropes by performing with local underground heroes Zzap, Powerhouse and Arsh. Eventually his talents would grab the attention of Assad Ahmed to become the founder members of Karavan

ALAN SMITH
The solid, pulsating rhythm of Alan’s drumming is the backbone of the band - that constant, perfect timing that holds the band together. If there is one word to sum up drummer Alan Smith’s list of live and studio credits, it is 'eclectic.' When Alan began his professional career in 1993, good drummers in Pakistan were still very few and far between. He’s upheld the backbeat and created texture for many different local artists, such as The Milestones, Aakash, Junaid Jamshed and Junoon at international venues. Alan is a drummer ever attempting to push the limits of the drum set. Alan puts the heart and soul of his music above all else. A true artist, he plays for the moment as if he’s directly inside each note, playing each beat as if it were a melody. Close your eyes and listen. You can imagine that he can harness the power of thunder within his hands.
